Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 45:25-28

25-28 To hear that Joseph is alive, is too good news to be true; Jacob faints, for he believes it not. We faint, because we do not believe. At length, Jacob is convinced of the truth. Jacob was old, and did not expect to live long. He says, Let my eyes be refreshed with this sight before they are closed, and then I need no more to make me happy in this world. Behold Jesus manifesting himself as a Brother and a Friend to those who once were his despisers, his enemies. He assures them of his love... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Genesis 45:16-31

Gen_45:16 Gen_47:31 . There had been a considerable measure of secrecy in all these dealings between Joseph and his brethren, but now all secrecy was abandoned. Pharaoh and all his court were now fully apprised of what had taken place and it pleased them. Since "every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians," as we are told in the last verse of the next chapter, we might have been surprised at this did we not know, as we before remarked, that at this epoch the ruling powers in Egypt were... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 45:16-28

Jacob invited to Egypt v. 16. And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. The news reached the royal palace very soon. And it pleased Pharaoh well and his servants, which shows the high regard that Joseph enjoyed; for all nomadic tribes, including the Hebrews, were despised by the Egyptians. The latter fact was forgotten in the universal joy. v. 17. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts and go; get you... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 45:16-28

Joseph Sends for His Father Genesis 45:16-28 This is indeed an Easter lesson. It must have seemed to Jacob and his children as though Joseph were indeed risen from the dead. Hardly more startling were the appearances of the risen Lord than the news carried back to Jacob that his long-lost and much-mourned son was the prime minister of Egypt. Joseph had not forgotten his father. His one desire was to bring him to share his glory. For this he sent the wagons to transport the whole family to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 45:1-28

In the account of Joseph's revelation of himself to his brethren, the chief value is in his recognition of the fact that his destiny had been in the hand of God: "It was not you that sent me hither, but God." This capacity for ignoring secondary causes is one of the surest signs of greatness. So it was that Joseph was able to forget and to forgive his brethren for selling him into slavery. It is a consciousness possible only to the life of habitual communion with God. The important position... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 45:1-28

Joseph Making Himself Known Genesis 45:1-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Chapter 44 of Genesis is introductory to 45. 1. Doing evil for good. This is discussed in Genesis 44:1-5 . Of course the sons of Jacob had not actually stolen Joseph's cup, as Joseph's steward charged. The whole idea was an effort to arouse their consciences concerning their former cruelty toward the one they now sought to honor. Charged with doing evil for good, they recoiled. Yet, when they had sold Joseph into slavery to the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 45:28

ALIVE FROM THE DEAD!‘Joseph my son is yet alive!’ Genesis 45:28 I. But for the provision Joseph sent them for the way, Jacob and his sons’ sons and daughters could never have crossed the hot desert. But the impossible had been made possible by the command of Pharaoh and the love of Joseph. The journey was accomplished successfully, the desert was traversed without peril, without excessive fatigue, by means of the wagons sent out of land of Egypt. When Jacob saw the wagons his heart revived.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 45:25-28

‘And they went up out of the land of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father. And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And he felt weak (‘his heart fainted’) because he did not believe them. And they told him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken to them and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him the spirit of Jacob their father revived. And Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 45:26

Jacob’s heart fainted, or, was weakened, or failed, he fell into a swoon, as it is ordinary, because of the greatness and suddenness of the news, and the conflict of contrary and violent passions, raised hereby; grief at the remembrance of his former loss, and excessive joy for Joseph’s recovery and felicity; hope that this might be true, and fear lest it should be but a fiction of theirs: any one of these passions are able to cause a fainting of the spirits, but much more when all meet... read more
